The man charged in an officer-involved shooting that ended in a chase where a firefighter was killed admitted to being high on heroin during the incident, according to a report released by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division.

Kennedy told agents he met his friend, Ashley Tate Moore, on the morning of the incident at the TD’s gas station on W. Blue Ridge Road. Kennedy told agents they were “loading stuff out of a truck they stole into Moore’s truck.”

Agents reported that Kennedy said, “They stole the truck from his old girlfriend’s house near Lake Robinson.”

Deputies tracked down the truck using the On-Star feature to find stolen vehicles.

An agent reported, “Kennedy got into Moore’s truck when he saw the police pull in the parking lot. As he drove away he saw a deputy run in front of him but he didn’t remember hitting him. He did remember getting shot at and he thought he got hit in the head because he was bleeding.”

The SLED report revealed that two Greenville County deputies fired their weapons at the scene.

One deputy told agents, “Fearing for his life he fired two rounds into the driver’s side windshield. As he fired the second round the truck [driven by Kennedy] struck the left front side of his body.”

A second deputy said, “Fearing for the safety and the safety of the public, (he fired his pistol) with the intention of stopping the vehicle and the driver.”

The report indicated that deputies chased Kennedy when he fled the scene and that the “pursuit was terminated; however, Kennedy continued fleeing at a high rate of speed into oncoming traffic ultimately colliding with a motorcycle; resulting in the death of the motorcycle driver.”

The report did not indicate how long deputies chased Kennedy or when the chase ended.

Deputies told WYFF News 4 that the chase went on for 12 to 15 minutes and reached speeds of 95 to 100 mph.

Dashcam video obtained by WYFF News 4 showed that at times, Kennedy was seen driving on the shoulder of the Highway 25 to get around cars on the road.

Deputies continued the pursuit after Kennedy crossed onto the wrong side of Highway 25 and drove into oncoming traffic.

The dashcam video shows deputies turning off their blue lights and reducing their speed, just over a minute after Kennedy crossed over.

Kennedy is currently being held at the Greenville County Detention Center.
